She never cuts corners and her attention to detail is unmatched. Her services are the highlight of my self-care routine, and thanks to her, my skin has never looked better. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional, high-quality skincare read more

I've been seeing Michelle for facials and massages for the past six years. She's been treating my hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and there has been a very noticeable improvement in my skin tone and texture over time. Her massages are amazing! There is magic in her hands. Every time I leave an appointment, I feel completely recharged, and that feeling honestly lasts me the whole week. She knows exactly where to focus and how to relieve tension without ever being too rough or too light. Michelle is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and professional. She takes her time, listens, and tailors each session to what I need. I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

I've been seeing Michelle for facials around once a month for the past year, and I seriously can't recommend her enough! I'm a senior in high school, and when I first started going to her, my skin was breaking out a lot from stress and hormones. Since then, she's helped my skin stay moisturized, balanced, and so much clearer. Michelle has such a gentle and soft touch--every session feels super relaxing (especially after a chaotic week). She really knows what she's doing and always gives me tips on how to take better care of my skin. Thanks to Michelle, skincare is one thing less to stress about which is helpful when stress makes my skin worse! I'll miss her when I'm at college! read more

This review goes to my therapist rather than the place itself. To deal with my oily skin problem my aunt recommended this place, So i gave it a try. It was a clean little spot in millbrae. The therapist (michelle) treated me with bunch of cream cleansers, various dedicated machines and massage procedures that felt very professional, and the head-neck massages was incredible! And that is where it really deserve the 5 stars. Not only her professionalism, but her service treatment was exceptional. She was focused, but super nice and smily and attentive all the time. I personally believe there is nothing better than a good customer care. You could see the good skin results immediately. I thought it would be very expensive but the price came out very affordable. And she offers great deals and products . And parking is very convenient. PD: I highly recommend an appointment before dropping by. read more

See all

No doubt you have noticed there are just as many facial salons as there are Starbucks. It has taken me months of hit and miss, plus frustration and $$$ to finally find Michelle, who's the owner of Beauty Expression...and I have never gone elsewhere. Michelle is someone whom you would consider gifted in the area of skin care and beauty. Unlike most beauty products (drugstore brands or uber brandname ones) might want you to believe, there's no one formula on how much cream to use for what combination of skin type. There's no recipe to follow but that's why she shines among the fierce competition in the Bay Area. She needs no advertising , because her customer-base keeps growing based solely on word of mouth and proven results. After my visits I can see a distinguishable difference on my skin tone and elasticity. If only i can afford going twice a month!!! The facials are truly therapeutic and clinical, because she's trained to use machines designed to elevate results...her technique also plays a crucial and irreplaceable role in keeping the experience effective. When you vouch for someone you put your reputation on the line.. and Beauty Expression is one salon I will never stop recommending ! read more

[This was review from the old location, and somehow the review didn't get transferred along so I am posting it here again.] I went there for acne care and it was great. I cleared almost all of my acnes after getting treatments for about 6 months (with the use of skin products as well). Price is reasonable. Definitely recommended for facial treatments especially for acne care. read more

Amazing at what she does. I've struggled with acne for the vast majority of my life and Michelle has improved not only my skin but my confidence whenever I go out. You'll never come out of her shop with less than you paid for and the difference is like night and day. Unlike most estheticians, her main goal is not to push any particular product on you, but is to tailor a regimen that is specific to your own skin. Personally I have slightly oilier skin and she knew just what to do with it. I'd recommend her to anyone, any day of the week. read more

Michelle is amazing. I have been going with her since 2011 while she was working at Key's beauty. She takes care of my skin really well. she know exactly what my skin needs. always find me the best treatment when i have problem skin, i think she is a unlicensed dermatologist :). Michelle is a well experienced spa specialist, she is nice, flexible and faithful. she has never pushed me to purchase beauty products, or package etc ever! (not like some places). after so many years, i feel she is my old friend, always be there for me when i need a quality facial. her dedicated work ethic and professional skill set will absolutely make your money worth, high recommended! read more

Great location, best skin care service and products. Keep up the good work, Michelle!

Michelle is great! She completely rejuvenates my skin every time. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to be pampered because she can accommodate to anyone's needs! read more

I love this place. Reasonably priced facials that are very thorough! Michelle is amazing! Totally professional, skilled and the nicest person. Her facials are absolutely wonderful and relaxing, and I always leave glowing and refreshed. I really appreciate how she took the time to know my history and catered everything to my needs. I have been plagued with sensitive/irritated skin my whole life, and Michelle walked me through the different treatments and products that would work best for me. I highly recommend her services, any of her treatment on the menu would make a wonderful gift! read more
